Penguinbait,

Do you know if kde conflicts with USB Host mode using osso status bar?
I'm dual booting and I run USB Host from internal boot and not through dual mode
because of known conflict. If I put kde in dual mode section and keep USB Host
mode will they coexist? I've seen several conflicts between the two apps
but no one addressing an answer tto this issue. I'm wondering if my idea would
work. I'm traveling and I can't easily reflash or reinstall. Thanks, Dan

Sorry, PB, I'm the guilty party for creating this legend, I'm afraid, and I'd like to lay it to rest. Any usb 'issues' brought up in this thread were of my own making and should properly be ignored

I'm getting the following message when I use Pronukes
directions to install kde on a dual boot setup. I'm not xterm
proficient so please walk me through. Thanks, Dan

You're missing the space after the first bz2.

Thanks Dubwise.
I missed that one.
Can you look at this new message and give additional advise.
Thanks, Dan

The step where you were supposed to put the gnu version of tar
into the tar-temp directory didn't work. It's not there.

It's Step 6 in Pronuke's guide.

You're supposed to download the .deb with a web browser or whatever
and save it in your Documents folder, and then use dpkg to open it.
You may have just clicked on it and handed it to Application manager.
Not sure what that would do.

I did steps 1 through 4 of Pronukes instructions then step 7 of Milhouse
directions for dual boot, because Milhouse automated the rest of the process.
The dual boot works well. If I now go and do step 6 of Pronuke will
I have to do any additional steps, or is their an easier way of doing this? Also
would this affect my dual boot setup? I'm just a novice at linux and xterm.
Any additional suggestions, explaination and guidance would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dan

I didn't use Milhouse, for exactly that reason.
I wanted to see what the commands were.

Dunno, sorry. I'm totally new here, too. I got my N810 a few weeks ago,
and had never touched Linux before.

If you've got dual boot working, I'd just do Step 6 from Pronuke,
and then try again to untar the two files.
Note that Pronuke has a typo. The .tgz has to get zxvf, not jxvf.
